The Portex Mini-Trach II Seldinger Kit enables the placement of a Mini-Trach cannula in the trachea utilising the Seldinger (guidewire) technique.

This accurately guides the Mini-Trach cannula through the cricothyroid membrane, minimising bleeding, avoiding surgical emphysema and misplacement due to misalignment of tissue.

The kit contains all the necessary components to perform a minitracheotomy.

• 2cm, 16G Tuohy needle to puncture the cricothyroid membrane and provide guidewire access to the trachea
• 10ml Syringe confirms correct placement of the needle by aspiration
• 50cm Flexible tipped guidewire to establish the cannulation route with the minimal of tracheal trauma
• 7cm Curved dilator enlarges the opening in the cricothyroid membrane for the smooth insertion of Introducer and Cannula
• Curved introducer aids introduction of the Cannula
• 4mm ID, thermosensitive, Blue Line Cannula
• Neck tapes for secure fixation of the Cannula to the neck
• 10F Suction Catheter. Low friction endobronchial catheter for initial suctioning following cannulation
